Date: Jan. 17th, 2007 03:44 am (UTC)And yes, I read the previous article. The thing is, almost everyone I've been friends with or worked with in my life has been introverted, or at least understanding and familiar with the traits, so it's never been a big point of conflict for me. I just tend to avoid those who aren't - but then again, they tend not to really be paying attention anyway (imo), so it works out well on both sides *g*.
I would say I fit both of those markers very well - the 'recharge' and the 'close friends' rather than acquaintances. The connection with giftedness is interesting as well, although I do think one tends to, or at least potentially does, feed into the other.
I just wanted to use my icon - that's Rorschach, from Alan Moore's Watchmen comic, which is amazing. He's kind of a classic vigilante, who sees the world only in black and white. I think I adore him precisely because that kind of absolutism is near-impossible for me.
Does that mean even lj socialising makes you a little edgy? I do get what you mean though - there's a lot to keep up with *g*
